Metro garbage hearings assailed Atebe says province should intervene BY JEFF

Nine public meetings now scheduled across the Lower Mainland will give residents a chance to air their views on Metro Vancouver’s controversial solid waste and resource management plan, which would allow construction of a new garbage incinerator.

She wants the FVRD to be allowed to present its own information at the public meetings to counter what she expects will be Metro’s “aggressive pro-incineration” bias. The province needs to take a leadership role and act as a referee,

Police arrested two suspects and seized about 2,000 marijuana plants from a rural property in the 12500 block of Stave Lake Road last Thursday morning. Police estimate the value of the crop at more than $1 million.

EARTH DAY 2010: The state of the Fraser Some gains, but many threats loom BY JEFF

NAGEL

Black Press

As the planet slow-cooks, it’s easy to forget some of the environmental advances that have been made since the first Earth Day 40 years ago. The Fraser River is far from pristine, but it’s one entity where gains have been measured over that four-decade period. Pulp mills that used to pour a toxic soup of effluent into the river largely cleaned up their act in the face of tighter regulations in the 1990s and 2000s. Christianne Wilhelmson of the Georgia Strait Alliance says river contamination had reached at crisis levels. The most famous indicator was the great blue heron, which had gone into sharp decline. “Heron populations were crashing,” Wilhelmson said. “They had so many dioxins and furans in them that they weren’t able to create eggs with hard shells. They would literally sit on their eggs and crush them.” It took years, but industry stopped using and dumping PCBs and mills slashed their disWhile pulp mills and municipal sewage systems discharge less pollution into the Fraser, the river is still ranked fourth among the charge of dioxins. province’s endangered rivers according to the Outdoor Recreation Council of B.C.

said Atebe, who sits on the FVRD board. “Metro is facilitating the meetings and planning them, and Fraser Valley feels it should be done by an independent body,” he added. The air shed is delicate in the Fraser Valley, and there won’t be any second chances, Atebe noted. “Whatever solution they design and develop will impact us,” he said. “We recognize they have a complex issue managing their waste, but they need to provide objective information to not just their residents, but ours in the Valley too.” Environment Minister Barry Penner has not yet responded to an FVRD request asking him to intervene and ensure Metro reached out to deliver a “balanced” set of consultations. Metro has promoted the benefits of incinerators, but hasn’t demonstrated there’s no negative impact to the valley. Moore said the formal input sessions are organized to be in line with the rules in the Community Charter that govern public hearings held by municipalities. He said Metro is still working with the FVRD to schedule

another public meeting in the Valley – a July 7 date has been proposed – featuring the boards of both regional districts where the FVRD will control part of the agenda to present its own information and experts. Ross said it’s wrong for Metro to schedule time for opposing FVRDled experts after all other public meetings are over. She also said a single meeting organized in that fashion, likely in Abbotsford or Chilliwack, is unfair to residents in more distant Hope. The Metro draft solid waste plan aims to boost recycling rates to at least 70 per cent and makes construction of a new in-region incinerator the preferred solution to dispose of up to 500,000 tonnes of garbage per year that can’t otherwise be reduced, recycled or composted. The second priority is to send waste to an out-of-region incinerator, such as one proposed on Vancouver Island. The plan would still leave open the option of sending garbage to an expanded Cache Creek landfill as a backup if a new incinerator proves impossible. Meetings dates and locations are:

Q May 3 in Hope at the Hope Golf Course. Q May 4 in Port Moody at Inlet Theatre. Q May 5 in Langley at Newlands Golf and Country Club Q May 6 in Maple Ridge at Fraserview Village Hall Q May 11 in North Vancouver at Lonsdale Quay Hotel Q May 15 in Abbotsford at Christian Life Community Church Creekside Centre Q May 19 in Vancouver at the Vancouver Public Library.

RCMP statistics show nearly all index crimes are decreasing.

Most crime stats fall I ’m pleased to present the first quarter 2010 crime statistics for the index crimes that we track on a regular basis. If you recall, at the end of last year we were able to achieve very significant drops in all areas of property crime. I was concerned about being able to keep up the pace of Insp those reductions. It looks however, that for the most part, we still have some momentum and we’re continuing to see significant drops in most all categories. This continues to be a

good news story with increasingly fewer people being victimized. The one area that is disturbing however is the very sharp rise in the number of thefts that are occurring from vehicles. This started at the end of the year and has carried on consistently for the last three months. We suspect . Pa t that there are a number of people responsible and are working to identify and deal with them. In the interim however it is very clear to us that these offences are increasing in part due to the success the thieves

are enjoying. If there is one thing that everyone can do to help deal with this issue, it’s don’t leave valuables in your vehicle overnight. Yes, I know we should be able to leave our property unattended overnight and expect it to be there the next day; unfortunately that is not the reality we’re dealing with. These thieves are out every night prowling our neighbourhoods. Please help by taking the profit out of their nocturnal activities – don’t leave any valuables out for them to steal. We’re working on this problem but could use your help. These crime stats as well as our crime maps are available from our website at www.mission. rcmp.ca.

Theft reports drop after arrest sion of stolen property charges, 27-year old Ryan Kergan, a Mission resident, also faces charges of resisting arrest and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle. Since late February, RCMP have been noticing an alarming increase in reports of theft from automobiles. From Feb. 22 to March 21, there were more than 40 reports. Police sent warnings to motorists to keep valuables out of sight in their cars, and focussed their attention on the problem. Mission’s crime analyst noticed the trend and some old fashion police work identified a suspect. “Our system works,” said Walsh. “These are prolific offenders.” While Kergan was in custody, police also linked him as a suspect to two other ongoing investigations. However, Kergan isn’t the only one suspected of stealing from vehicles, added the inspector.

BY CAROL AUN Mission Record

Local police are hoping the rate of thefts from vehicles will drop after an arrest last week. “(Last) Tuesday night we identified an individual, and by Wednesday morning, by 11 a.m., he was in custody,” said Mission RCMP Insp. Pat Walsh. Police had the suspect under surveillance overnight and tried to arrest the man the next day on First Avenue. However, the suspect managed to get into his vehicle and fled northbound. Police caught up to him near 14 Avenue and Cedar Street and were able to take him into custody. There were 15 reports of thefts from vehicles in the three days prior to his arrest, according to the crime analyst. “But since his arrest, there have been none.” In addition to theft and posses-

“We’re experiencing this because people who are doing the stealing are being successful.” Thefts have been taking place from one end of town to the other, from residential neighbourhoods to rural communities and near recreational hiking trails. Police continue to advise vehicle owners to lock their autos and keep valuables out of sight, or remove them. Here are some tips: • Always close windows and lock doors • Choose well-lit areas to park, near pedestrian traffic • Install an anti-theft device and advertise it with a window decal • Engrave your driver’s licence number on items like auto stereos and cell phones • Display a sticker indicating your valuables are marked for ID and keep an inventory • Report any suspicious person around a vehicle to police • Leave nothing in sight

THE MISSION RECORD – THURSDAY, APRIL 22, 2010

OPINION

Published and printed by Black Press Ltd. at Mission at 33047 First Ave., V2V 1G2

Mid-life crisis?

n April 22, more than six million Canadians will join a billion people in over 170 countries in marking the 40th annual Earth Day. It’s a milestone birthday for the modern environmental movement, but is there reason to celebrate? Forests are still being razed, rivers are swimming with sewage and other contaminants, and a proposed oil pipeline across northern B.C. threatens to bring tankers through our pristine – and navigationally challenging – West Coast waters. Even eco-icon Dr. David Suzuki is pessimistic, complaining that every environmental fight “won” is temporary at best, with challenges coming “back again and again to haunt us.” After four decades in the trenches beating back big corporations, protesting poor public policy and trying to convince governments to enact legislation that would affect real change on the environmental front, Suzuki can be forgiven for sounding cynical. It’s difficult not to feel defeated in the face of ongoing wilderness degradation and increasing indicators of climate change, such as extreme weather, intense wildfires and melting polar ice. Like many 40-year-olds, maybe Earth Day and its proponents are facing a mid-life crisis of sorts; a period of reflection on accomplishments and regret over missed opportunities. Locally, there are many examples of both. The Port Mann Bridge is being super-sized to accommodate an ever-increasing army of vehicles, while an underfunded TransLink struggles to maintain transit service. There is a plan to incinerate the region’s garbage, despite warnings of air quality deterioration in the Fraser Valley. Precious patches of urban greenery fall to the axe. But there are victories, too: Pesticide bylaws, stream enhancement programs and carbon taxes. The best thing about turning 40? Earth Day has infused the idea that the planet matters in the hearts and minds of a generation – young adults who have grown up with the notion that ecological health cannot exist alongside rampant consumerism. They came of age while releasing salmon fry into culverts or watching a loved one wither after being exposed to toxic substances such as asbestos. Happy 40th, Earth Day. You may be getting older. But in so many respects, you’re also getting better. Black Press

Zalm’s lemmings head for cliff T

hose of us old enough to remember the introduction of the GST in 1991 can find a warm feeling of nostalgia in today’s political argument over its logical extension, the HST. No wait, that’s not nostalgia. It’s nausea. Then-prime minister Brian Mulroney’s “hated” GST was proposed to be nine per cent, then brought in at seven amid a storm of unfocused outrage. It was sure to destroy the country, or whatever was left of it after the North American Free Trade Agreement. Mulroney handed off to B.C.’s own Kim Campbell, too late. Jean Chrétien’s Liberals crushed the Progressive Conservatives in 1993, chiefly To by promising to replace the GST with a better tax, or a fairer tax, or something. They floated an alternative, aptly named BST, but it was all just a show for the poor dumb folks. Here’s how dumb Canada was, not even 20 years ago. The GST replaced a 14-per-cent manufacturers’ sales tax that was imposed on our own industries, but not on imports. Then we stood around in our dirt-glazed lumberjack shirts, Molson stubbies in hand, and

wondered why we’re still hewing wood and drawing water for the world. Now B.C. voters tell pollsters they’re going to give the Kim Campbell treatment to Gordon Campbell, and elect the NDP to keep taxes down. A radio station does person-in-the-street interviews. Two out of three people don’t know what the HST is. The third is against it. Unlike Chrétien, NDP leader Carole James doesn’t promise to repeal the HST, at least not right away. We’re stuck with it for five years, she says. The best bet is to stop it now, even though the province can’t change a federal law. NDP MLAs have awkwardly joined up with Bill Vander Zalm’s petition drive, in the great tradition of running to the m front of the day’s parade. They did it with the carbon tax too. They’ve turned into a reactionary force, confronting a flood of B.C. Liberal innovations, with none of their own. No one really knows what a successful petition would mean, although the best guess is, not much. Vander Zalm doesn’t promote an NDP government. That would be a hill too far even for him. He made a career out of fighting Ottawa, over the GST,

abortion and French on corn flakes boxes, and this is more of the same. At anti-HST rallies around the province, Vander Zalm talks openly about a conspiracy to impose global government. Canada’s doing the HST, they’ll talk U.S. President Barack Obama into it, and the next thing you know we’ll be merged with the European Union and B.C.’s tax rate will be set not in Ottawa, but in Brussels. Vander Zalm says the HST will once again till the soil for a third provincial party, presumably the B.C. Conservatives under his sidekick Chris Delaney. (Chris who? Never mind.) In 1999, Vander Zalm ran for the fledgling Reform B.C. in a Delta South by-election and was trounced by Val Roddick. He entered politics in the 1970s claiming to be both a federal and provincial Liberal, presumably because that was the vehicle he found with the keys in it. Here’s the central reason that B.C. in 2010 needs to move to a consumption tax. The baby boomers are retiring. There won’t be enough people paying income tax to support them. This is not a prediction. As the engineer aboard the Titanic said, it is a mathematical certainty. You might want to check the rising water before you sign a petition. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

uestion of the Week:

YOUR VIEWS HST simplifies taxation Editor, The Record; Just after completing my tax return I read the Mission Record of April 15. Columnist Tom Fletcher, “We’re green with Ontario envy,” illustrates how provinces spend our money not by mailing out cheques to corporations of various sorts, but by granting them income tax subsidies. The example is the tax credit for the movie production industry. Robert Rock wants to stop the HST as he wants a return to the good old days. Our so-called “income tax” is nothing of the sort. It is an “annual tax” that emerges after the complex rules, regulations, subsidies, and deductions are considered. It is complex to administer and open to obscure subsidies to special interest groups. The only folks who like it are accountants, lawyers, and CRA employees. It tends to inhibit productivity. I could reduce my income tax by quitting my part time

job. Yes at 77 I still work. The HST is a tax on consumption. It is relatively simple and easy to administer. It requires less bureaucracy, especially when we move to a single agency. I can reduce my HST by consuming less. Not a bad idea for those of us interested in a sustainable earth. The Liberal government has bungled the move to the HST. They are somewhat prone to bungling. It would have been relatively easy to make a downward adjustment of the provincial tax rate for individuals to compensate for the perceived higher consumption tax. A consumption tax is not neces-

sarily regressive but the application of progressive rates is unlikely unless we are all prepared to keep detailed records of our spending and settle up at the year end with a final payment or rebate. More simple is to make further adjustments to the rebate for low income individuals. What is important is that we not miss this opportunity to simplify . our total tax system, reduce reliance on the “annual tax” which tends to inhibit productivity, and increase our reliance on consumption tax which tends to inhibit consumption. Daniel McDonald Mission

Acting in bad faith and secrecy Editor, The Record; Understandably, most comments on Mission council’s attempts to buy the waterfront property in competition with developer Howard Meakin have concentrated on the economic issues. However, we should not forget two very serious ethical issues which arise. Mission has not acted in good faith when, for well over a year, it has encouraged Meakin to proceed, laying out various requirements which involved him in significant expenditure, while, at the same time, bidding against him. This display of bad faith to one

person will inevitably discourage not only Meakin but also other businesses considering Mission as a location. Equally concerning is the secrecy with which council has surrounded their actions. They have argued that because a land transaction is involved the people of Mission must be kept in the dark. This simply is not true. The community charter is quite clear. It says that a matter may be discussed in camera in the case of “the acquisition, of land if the council considers that disclosure

High school students also fighting hunger Editor, The Record; A recent article in The Record focused on the important contribution Mission Central elementary school students are making towards the Empty Bowls project, a fundraiser for Mission food programs on April 25. Your readers may further like to know that Mission Secondary School and Hatzic Secondary School students also made and donated bowls in support of helping to end hunger in Mission. Moreover, a number of MSS students have signed up to volunteer

during the fundraising dinner to be held at All Saints Anglican Church on 2nd Ave., starting at 4 p.m. If your readers are interested in attending, tickets are $20 each, with special rates for families, and are available at the door, or in advance at Mission Community Services Society on Second Avenue. Thank you for reporting on a project that raises students’ awareness about hunger, while giving them an opportunity to help raise funds to alleviate it. Kate Ross MSS teacher

could reasonably be expected to harm the interests of the municipality.” In this case the bidding process is in open court. Any potential competitor for the land has full disclosure of Mission’s bid. The only people kept in the dark are Mission citizens who do not get to hear council’s justification for potentially huge expenditures. Bad faith and unjustified secrecy do not inspire the confidence of either Mission citizens or potential investors in the community. Ron Taylor Mission

THE MISSION RECORD – THURSDAY, APRIL 22, 2010 THE MISSION RECORD – THURSDAY, APRIL 22, 2010

Police militarizing Editor, The Record; This is a small thing to be thankful for, but our Canadian police forces do have the wisdom to take the military weapons off tactical armoured vehicles (TAV) before using them in police work. This is not true in the USA, where even some small town sheriffs boast armoured vehicles topped with Browning M-2 machine guns. That is exactly the same weapon that blasted German and Japanese fighters out of the sky in World War II. It is as useful in a police operation as a chain saw would be in a watch repair shop. Nevertheless, using military equipment for police work is dangerous, destructive and wrong. Once it starts, where will it stop? How soon will a police department somewhere try to keep the military arms attached to a TAV? I’ll bet on two years, maximum. Any takers? Police militarization is usually justified by claiming, as Jason Raaflaub did, that it makes police work safer. If that is true, then the Mexican police must be the safest in the world. After all, they work with not only military equipment, but also the army itself. I invite Constable Raaflaub to join the police force in Ciudad Juarez for a short time; then he will see how

much safer a fully militarized police force is. For the sake of his friends and family, however, he should make sure that it is indeed a short time. But the main point is this: If investigating a cannabis farm is dangerous for our police, we cannot blame someone who gives them or does not give them a TAV. The simple and only reason why some cannabis farms are dangerous is because they are illegal. No one needs a TAV to inspect a brewery or a chicken grow-op! Beer and poultry are legal, and so the brewers and growers cooperate with the law so that they don’t lose permission to operate. If cannabis farms were legal, the farmers would behave the same way. Therefore, the only people to blame for the dangers of so-called “marijuana grow ops” are ourselves, the voters. Cannabis prohibition is the only thing that makes these farms dangerous for police, and we are the ones who continue to elect politicians who leave this prohibition in place. It is our failure to change that puts Jason Raaflaub and his fellow officers in danger. Steve Finlay, volunteer, Law Enforcement Against Prohibition, Burnaby

Prohibition heightens danger Editor, The Record; Re: TAVs keep police officers safe In regards to Const. Jason Raaflaub’s letter to your paper, I would like to make one suggestion that would solve his and other officers’ concerns. In order to make your communities safer I’d like to suggest taxation and regulation of marijuana.

I’m sure he may not agree as it would increase unemployment among his fellow brothers of the force. Just like people say, guns don’t kill people its the trigger operator who does. Some day people will finally realize that prohibition is the cause of his concerns and not the plant itself. Al Graham, Campbellford

Ravines in way of new Junction-sized development BY CAROL AUN Mission Record

A developer is appealing a Fisheries and Oceans decision to find a

way to build over ravines on a 13.6 ha site near the corner of Lougheed and Wren Street. Carhoun and Sons Enterprises wants to fill in

two watercourses on the property, and received support from Mission council last year to go ahead with discussions with DFO.

They are the same Vancouver-based developers who built the Best Western Mission City Lodge, which was also on a challenging lot to develop because of its slope. The new project would bring a shopping area similar in size to The Junction in addition to some housing units. It is consistent with the district’s Official Community Plan, and would bring employment opportunities. DFO rejected the proposal after determining a significant amount of fish habitat would be affected and habitat compensation options are limited. Developer Karel Car-

houn says DFO has focussed on the impact upon fish habitat, and didn’t look at the economic rational or the quality of the watercourses. According to the developer’s environmental consultants, the waterways are “considered very unstable and actually degrading within the ravine.” As part of the appeal process, council is sending a letter to DFO reconfirming its previous resolution, and addressing the economic implications and environmental benefits and impacts. The letter is intended to clarify its support. Mission council voted

asked to reconsider anything. “We’re not here to support the application,” he said, adding council is simply reiterating its position. Mayor James Atebe agreed. “That’s further down the road ... council could choose not to support the project.” It would be a bias not to allow the process to proceed, he explained. The applicant has the right to appeal and “what I think we’re doing is saying we haven’t changed our minds; we still support that discussion taking place.”

not plead guilty. Fifteen of the offences occurred in Mission, with others in Merritt and Oliver, B.C. from around 1998 until August 2007. The investigation was conducted by the Kelowna and Mission RCMP detachments. All of the victims, except one, were boys. Mossing, who had no previous criminal record, has been in jail since April 25, 2009, when he was first charged. On Monday, Abbotsford provincial court Judge Kenneth Skilnick sentenced Mossing to seven years in prison – the maximum sentence

requested by Crown counsel. He refered to him as a “serial pedophile.” The investigation began in the fall of 2008 when three victims in the centre of the Okanagan Valley told police they had been assaulted. Mission Const. Amanda Fallis said Mossing lived in Mission for a period until 2006. During his time in Mission, Mossing was a lay volunteer with New Heights Church. Church pastor Greg Elford said he did not want to elaborate on the situation, as it has been a painful experience for everyone involved.

Mission’s “wild west” will soon be developed into a hot tourism commodity, Mission’s forestry manager Bob O’Neal told the Chamber of Commerce luncheon on Thursday afternoon. At present, the area draws a rough crowd that goes there for 4x4ing, illegal firearm practice and to dump stolen cars or worse. “Right now, I would not send my family into that area,” O’Neal said. That will change. The district has received $1 million to develop 12 km of Florence Lake Road (Burma Road), and will control access to the area, making it a user-pay recreation area. The Stave Lake Interpretive Forest Recreation Plan will soon draw families to the Mission area for outdoor adventure, O’Neal said. The district is exploring numerous options for visitors to the area, including hiking, kayaking, equestrian and a zip track. “We need to keep people busy, active and enjoying the wilderness, he said. “We feel once we build it, they will come.” What’s more, they will work with local 4x4 groups and quad enthusiasts to make sure they can still access the area. “We don’t want to kick them out,” said O’Neal.

BOB O’NEAL

A new Tim Horton’s Camp at the Pine Lake Resort site is a key attraction in the area. The donut shop chain has six such camps that cater to 14,000 financially disadvantaged kids each year. “These are very high-end camps, professionally done, and they enhance the area,” said O’Neal. The Tim Horton’s Camp will be a $15 million expenditure. There is other investment in the area, as Zajac Ranch is planning $3.5 million worth of upgrades. The district is budgeting $2.2 million for recreation infrastructure and road improvements will total $3.8 million. O’Neal said the district is anticipating the remaining $2.8 million in provincial funding for roads next year. During the construction phase, the interpretive forest will generate

an estimated 238 person years of employment. Once all the facilities are up and running, it will create 70 new jobs. “It’s a great opportunity for our community’s employment,” he said. The district will maintain its working forest, with the economic advantages of harvesting and silviculture operations that have been ongoing since 1958. He noted the district will soon plant its four millionth tree in the forest. Kevan Ridgeway, the president and CEO of the Vancouver Coastal Mountain Tourism Region noted that the added travelers in Mission will be a boon to the local economy. He pointed to studies into the value of tourism show that 26 per cent of the money travellers spend in B.C. is on retail products. “Retailers don’t tend to appreciate what tourism does for their business,” he said. He noted that a survey of Mission businesses showed 70 per cent felt tourism had a definite impact on their business, and a further seven per cent said it had some impact. Citing statistics from the top-ten most requested activities on the provincial tourism website hellobc. com, the number two requested activity was camping, hiking was seventh and fishing eighth. “The new interpretive forest has those in abundance,” he noted.

operation in future. In the video, the spokespeople for a variety of fishing groups are interviewed on the river, offering advice about how sports anglers and First Nations fishermen should cooperate, and generally showing leadership. “It’s thought provoking, and demonstrates how people in a perfect world will get along,” said Rod Clapton of Langley, who is the president of the B.C. Federation of Drift Fishers. The group is known simply as the First Nations/Sport Fishing Working Group. It’s members recall the tension on the Fraser last summer. “Everyone was all defensive,” said Kim Charlie, the Chehalis Fisheries coordinator. “People were waiting for CHARLIE something to happen. I didn’t want anyone going out there with guns.” Clapton agreed: “It was becoming ‘them and us’ very quickly.” “We have to share the space, and we all want to enjoy fishing, so we have to get along,” said Charlie. The video can be seen online by going to www. youtube.com and searching “River Manners.” The group is working toward the broadest possible circulation of the six-minute clip, which will be linked to a wide variety of websites for river users, including the BC Wildlife Federation, Sto:lo Tribal Council and many others. Clapton sees it as a starting point for the group’s work, which will be to resolve future conflicts that arise. The bigger job is making sport anglers and native fishermen realize they have more in common than differences, he said. “There’s a specific ‘them and us’ mindset, and we have to get people thinking differently,” Clapton said. Chairman Dave Moore of Kamloops said Tuesday was a banner day for the new group. “We’ve got a great start,” he said. “Peace on the river — that’s the mantra.”

UFV FASHION DESIGN PROGRAM YEAR-END SHOW Wednesday April 28, 2010

Birthday bash for horse club The Mission Horse Club, originally named the Blue Star Riders, will be celebrating its 70th anniversary this weekend at the Season Opener Horse Show. MHC offers its facility at 9457 Stave Lake St. to all riders, giving them a safe place to ride and train. The club supports local 4-H members and the Pony Club. A Community Day is held once a year, where children can try a pony ride and families can watch demonstrations on riding, horseshoeing, and visit the petting zoo. There are also crafts and free hot dogs for everyone. The MHC was founded by Ernie Badke, Bill Grieves and Rudy Herdon in the 1940s. The original site for the club was on Cherry Avenue, where Albert McMahon elementary school is today. The club moved to the west side of the Fairgrounds on Grand Street, and in May 1970, hosted its grand opening show at the new facilities. Here, the club prospered and hosted many horse shows in conjunction with the annual Mission Fair and Logger’s Sports Day. When the Leisure Centre needed to expand, the club moved to a temporary location in 1975 before finally settling down at its current home on Stave Lake. MHC is a registered non-profit organization. The shows start in the early spring and continue until September or October. MHC offers the following disciplines: • English: classes in jumping, equitation and hack • Western: classes in trail, reining, pleasure and gymkhanas • Gymkhana: events like barrel racing, pole bending and stake races. The celebrations take place from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. on Sunday, Apr. 25. Everyone is welcome to attend. For more information visit missionhorseclub.com. Best Buy – Correction Notice

Hello from the 40 Developmental Assets Working group! The 40 Developmental Assets are 40 foundational building blocks required for the healthy development of a young person. The more assets a young person has, the more they are likely to succeed and be resilient against peer pressure and high risk behaviors. In November 2008, a 40 Developmental Assets survey was completed by 2188 students in Mission. The average asset level reported was 16.8 out of 40 assets. On May 6, 2010 6:30pm â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 8:30pm the 40 assets youth will share Missionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s survey results in an informal community workshop. We hope you will join us for this community event, share in some appetizers and beverages and listen to what the youth have to say in your community! RSVPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s are required. Please RSVP by Friday April 30th to Kirsten Hargreaves (Manager of Social Development) (604) 820-3752 khargreaves@mission.ca We thank you for your support, District of Mission Social Development 40 Developmental Assets Working Group

Civic pride starts here A clean and beautiful city depends on the pride of residents, businesses, property owners and youth. It also makes good business sense and results in a healthy economy. Clean and beautiful cities attract highly

skilled workers and investment, and enable us to live, work and play in wellmaintained, safe and pleasant surroundings. In municipalities across the province, litter is moving out of the ditches and into the spotlight.

We are hearing an increasingly clear message from citizens and businesses that litter is incompatible with civic pride, duty and prosperity. The quality of public space matters to everyone. Did you know that fast food packaging and cigarette butts constitute the greatest percentage of litter in Mission? There is a lot of misinformation out there regarding cigarette butt litter. The biggest myth is that cigarette filters are biodegradable. In fact, cigarette butts are not biodegradable in the sense that most people think of the word. The acetate (plastic) filters can take many years to decompose. Smokers may not realize that their actions have such a lasting, negative impact on the environment. What happens after that butt gets casually flicked onto the street, nature trail, or beach? Typically wind and rain carry the cigarette into the water supply, where the toxic chemicals the cigarette filter was designed to trap, leak out into aquatic ecosystems, threatening the quality of the water and many aquatic life forms. Cigarette butts may seem small, but with several trillion butts littered every year, the toxic chemicals add up! This is called cumulative environmental effect.

Some people will say that we benefit from synthetic materials, such as plastics, because of their durability, low cost, and lightweight. Unfortunately, these same properties pose problems for the environment. Being extremely stable, they do not readily break down but tend to remain in the environment for many years. Each year, more debris is released into the environment and as time goes on the amount of debris in the marine environment increases. Once in the marine environment, debris harms both wildlife and people. The best way to educate the public about this serious environmental problem is to start with people you know. If someone you know litters their cigarettes or anything else, question them on it and tell them it affects all of our personal and public spaces as well as the environment. Let’s all take civic pride in our beautiful community of Mission. Join district staff and the Mission Adopt-A-Block Society in revitalizing unsightly orphan spaces and pick up litter as you walk down the street. By doing this, we can all enjoy our parks and public open spaces together. You can contact the society at 604-8269423.

Free compost class at market The Abbotsford-Mission Recycling Program will hold a free compost class at the Farmers Market on May 8 to mark National Compost Week. The class will take about one hour and is open to anyone. Walk-ins are welcome, but preregistration would be appreciated. To register, you can leave a message at 604850-3551, ext. 3.

Rotary works for literacy

BUYING

“Welcome aboard; come see our books,” says Candy Thorne literacy outreach worker with Mission Literacy in Motion. It is a welcome that Thorne gives often as she welcomes Mission residents aboard the community BUS (Building United Services) which brings literacy and other services to the people, rather than having people come downtown for services. This time though, it is

President Pam Alexis (right) of Mission Sunrise Rotary Club delivers children’s books for the Community BUS to Candy Thorne (left), a literacy outreach worker with Mission Literacy in Motion.

Rotary calling to add to the resources on the BUS. Mission Sunrise Rotary President Pam Alexis and members recently delivered a box of children’s books to complement the two computers donated previously by the club. The club has made literacy one of its priorities. At its weekly morning meeting, members listen to a story, then donate that book to a children’s program, such as Strong Start in Mission schools. It supports a literacy bus in Guatemala, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library which provides a book a month to children from birth to five years of age in an area of Mission, and it has been a major supporter of the Mission BUS. The BUS was the brainchild of Mission’s Literacy Now initiative. Com-

munity organizations, spearheaded by Mission Literacy in Motion. This year, largely due to the donation of the BUS and funding to refurbish and operate it from Mission Public Schools, the bright green bus began travelling the city. While the plan is for the bus to host a multitude of services to seniors, immigrants, and other families who have difficulty accessing services in the central core, much of its mandate surrounds literacy. The donation by the Mission Sunrise Rotary Club will allow people to learn to use and to access the computers, provide books for children to read, and generally help with Mission Literacy in Motion’s literacy service aboard the BUS.

New coach has done it all in minor hockey Craig Sherbaty takes over as Icebreakers’ new bench boss BY

NEIL CORBETT

Mission Record

Craig Sherbaty has done everything a coach can do in minor hockey, so moving to the junior ranks is a natural evolution. The new head coach of the Mission Icebreakers has 18 years of hockey instruction behind him. With his Pacific Titans Hockey development program, Sherbaty makes his living as an amateur coach. He is an instructor with the school hockey programs at Lord Tweedsmuir, Aldergrove and Langley secondary schools; and coaches in the B.C. Hockey High Performance program. It has gotten him noticed. Sherbaty has been chosen by Hockey Canada to run their Chevrolet Safe and Fun Festivals as the on-ice instructor. That program has seen him work with the likes of former New York Islanders superstar Mike Bossy, Boston Bruins legend Bobby Orr and women’s hockey great Cassie Campbell. And he has worked with Vancouver Canucks to put men through their paces for B.C. Hockey Coaching

Mission Icebreaker Jonathan Bremner is among the many young players who could return to the team in September, and new coach Craig Sherbaty says there he is impressed by the talent pool. FILE PHOTO

Day, and at the Canucks Centre for BC Hockey. He is also a coaching course conductor for BC Hockey. One of the newest jobs on his resume is scouting for the Edmonton Oil Kings of the Western Hockey League, and next Mission’s Junior B squad.

“My goal is to coach at the highest possible level,” he said. “This is a good fit.” Sherbaty sees a young and talented team in Mission, and his goal is to get them playing an uptemp offensive style. It won’t be what is referred to as “run and gun,” but rather

“fast, structured hockey.” “I want to have a really aggressive hockey team,” he said. “You’re not going to intimidate people, but you make a statement about what kind of team you’re going to be.” He wants that to be a team where players don’t pass up a chance to fin-

ish a bodycheck, plays tough in front of their own net, stand up for each other, and are generally tough to play against. During his playing career, Sherbaty also played in the Pacific International Junior Hockey League, for the Burnaby Blue Hawks in 1987. It was a springboard to playing Junior A, for Lloydminster of the Alberta Junior Hockey League, but injury problems derailed his junior career. And he said a big goal of his is to develop players so that can progress up the junior hockey ranks. While most of the players at this level will have come a long way in their skating, puckhandling, shooting and other skills, they don’t all think the game at the same level. He will give each player a playbook, and they will understand various forechecks, power play options, penalty killing responsibilities, and how the team should function in all three zones of the ice. “Their brain needs to grow as much as their skill.” Icebreakers owner Ivor Venema feels it was a coup to entice Sherbaty to come to Mission. “He comes very well recommended,” he said, noting Sherbaty promises to make a great commitment to the program. “I like the way he coaches, with his systems, and just the way he handles a team.”

Elite anglers will need more than just luck O

n occasion I hear the question, why should I pay for lessons when there is so much free information out there? I believe the question is a valid one, but it is never one you hear from the pros. Pros know from experience that it takes time to separate the wheat Je from the chaff (the useful from the nonuseful). The best in any sport know, study and training are both time and money well spent. Reading is a must but so

is the hands-on training and coaching. In times past, it took some of us decades to master what can be achieved in a couple of years with good teaching today. Building on the wisdom and knowledge of the old masters, the pros of today are far ahead of where ff anglers were 20 years ago. Twenty years from now who knows what it will take to be one of the best. If you desire high catch

ratios, big fish, prize money, and gold medals from your sport fishing, you need training. In the end it all comes down to a game of chance, but even so, you don’t get to the winner’s circle on luck alone.

Competition winner closes season C

lassical Mission’s 20092010 season comes to a close with a concert capturing the spirit and potential of great music. At the start of the season, the identity of the final performer was a mystery because he had yet to win the honour of performing. But in late November, Evgeny Starodubtsev emerged as laureate of the Honens International Piano Competition in Calgary. As a result, he will perform a program of piano masterpieces at the Clarke Theatre on Sunday, April 25 at 8 p.m. A native of Russia, Starodubtsev was first introduced to the accordion at a young age. When his tremendous musical talent showed itself, he was accepted to one of the best music schools in the world: the Moscow Conservatory. At only 27 years old, he beat 20 other incredible young pianists to win second place at the Honens competition. Starodubtsev brings his youthful energy and curiosity to his performances. An avid chess-player, his musical interests include compos-

ing and heavy metal. Earlier this year in Calgary, he participated in an innovative fourpiano performance of the 1972 rock-instrumental sensation, Tubular Bells (along with Elizabeth Bergmann who recently performed in Mission herself).

Starodubtsev’s virtuosic and varied program in Mission will include all four of Chopin’s Scherzi, a sonata by Prokofiev, and the stunningly rousing Petroushka suite by Stravinsky. The Honens International Piano Competition takes place every

three years in Calgary. Twentyone successful applicants compete live in the quarterfinal round. Successful finalists, having endured two hours each of high-stakes performances that included solo as well as chamber music, perform with the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra before the competItion’s three laureates are chosen. Certainly among the most rigorous contests in the world, Honens has always prided itself on focusing on the “complete artist.” Winners from the competition will receive further artistic development, including career building performance opportunities worldwide. Tickets for the April 25 concert are available now or at the door for $28 for adults, and $10 for students. Credit card purchases can be made by calling the box office at 604-820-3961.

HSS murder mystery The Gallus Brothers dinner theatre is back finally play in Mission Can you guess who done it? Finally, some nice weather at Hatzic Secondary! Speaking of nice weather, have you heard of The Grave Outdoors? That’s right, Hatzic drama department’s annual murder mystery dinner theatre is back. For four years, Hatzic has been producing complex plot lines and killer characters, and now they have murder down to an art with the fifth edition to the murder mystery legacy. Come and join the Miller family as they embark on a camping trip together at Silver Lake Campground where tensions run high and tempers grow short. Follow Grandpa Clyde’s expert survival tactics, Dennis and Bean’s shenanigans, Great Aunt Millie’s selective hearing, Karma’s dogma, and much more in this year’s comedic twist on family gatherings. Last year’s Fashion Victim, a catty parody on the show America’s Next Top Model was a huge success. Now, once again Julie Aldridge and her cast are bringing another original script to the stage. Written by Marie Low and Jane Westendorf, the

students who also penned Fashion Victim, The Grave Outdoors is a hilarious glimpse into the lives of a family of misfits. Infused with red herrings and murderous ties, the production is sure to turn you into the next Sherlock Holmes. Not only does the production offer the audience the unique experience of interacting with the cast, but it also comes with a delicious dinner and dessert, prepared by Hatzic’s culinary arts students. The food is absolutely to die for. The Grave Outdoors runs for three nights on April 29, April 30, and May 1. Tickets are $25 for adults, $20 for students and seniors, and $15 for children 10 and under. The doors open at 6 p.m. and the show starts at 6:30 p.m. Tickets available at the Hatzic Secondary office or by calling 604-826-3651. So pack your bags, tents, sleeping bags, and bear-proof coolers and head on down to Silver Lake Campground where everyone can enjoy the fresh air, the pine trees, and of course, the blood. Can you guess who done it?

Gallus Brothers fans should be able to finally hear the Bellingham duo perform in Mission next week barring a lightning storm or another Maria Muldaur tour. The pair were chased from the stage at the 2009 Mission Folk Music Festival by bolts of lightning, which forced organizers to cancel the Saturday evening show. And a planned concert in October also had to be postponed as the boys were asked to go on tour with folk legend Maria Muldaur. “It’s great to have these fictional brothers finally coming,” said MFMF artistic director Francis Xavier. “Lucas and Devin are available, we have a venue, now all we need is to let everyone know.” The Gallus Brothers, whose names are not Gallus and who are not brothers, are ace finger pickin’ guitarist Devin Champlin and eclectic percussionist Lucas Hicks. The odd banjo, mandolin or accordion will turn up in the hands of either musician; they both sing, and you’ll have to see it to believe what Lucas uses for a drum kit. These purveyors of ragtime country blues with a little vaudeville thrown in have a vast repertoire of songs ranging from jazz and ragtime to country blues and even some big band songs. Tunes such as Too Bad West Coast Blues and Garbage Man

leave audiences humming the melody long after the last string has ceased to sound on Devin’s guitar, long after the last bell peals have faded from Lucas’s “drum kit.” Music isn’t all you get at a Gallus Brothers show. There is a bit of cabaret and some juggling. There’s also definitely humour, and you’ll more than likely see them playing half of each other’s instruments. Confused? They’re not. They don’t miss a beat. “Every few years, a group comes along that just clicks with our audience,” said Xavier. “The Gallus Brothers sang their way into our hearts and minds at the 2007 festival, and they’ve remained there ever since.” This concert is a fundraising event presented by the Mission Folk Music Festival. The 2009 storm not only caused cancellation of the Saturday performance, it also left a large hole in the organization’s finances, forcing closure on the event’s most lucrative evening. Xavier invites Gallus Brothers fans and festival supporters from throughout the valley to help make this show at the old Big B Saloon a sell out. Tickets for the April 29 concert are $20 and are available at Murdoch’s Book Shoppe. Due to the venue, you must be 19 or older to attend. For further information, call the Mission Folk Music Festival at 604-826-5937.

Mission community calendar MEETINGS AND EMAIL

It is amazing how much of our daily routine is structured around meetings. For many people, it has almost become a full-time job just preparing, scheduling, critiquing, and re-communicating these encounters. Much of this has been made easier and faster with e-mail, but now it seems that e-mail and meetings are taking over our business lives. We have too much to communicate — as fast as you delete your e-mail, there is always more to take its place. As companies become more competitive in order to survive, we have to accept that this is the wave of the future. However, while we are preparing for all these meetings, we should also leave room on our calendars to schedule time with our Lord. We don’t want to be so busy that we forget that God is the most important thing in our lives, because His meetings are refreshing and rejuvenating. The Bible tells us, “Lord, you establish peace for us; all that we have accomplished you have done for us” (Isaiah 26:12).

You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in You.
